Section 250-171-12 - UCR FEES
Universal Citation: 29 ME Code Rules ยง 250-171-12
Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024
1. The UCR Act mandates how UCR fees are established.
A. Each
calendar year the UCR Board submits a recommendation to the USDOT Secretary
regarding the level of UCR fees for the next calendar year. In making its
recommendation the Board considers the number of states participating in the
UCRA, the aggregate of participating state entitlements and required
administrative costs, how many entities are subject to the UCRA, how many
commercial motor vehicles are operated by such entities, and the optimum fee
structure to collect the calculated revenue.
B. The USDOT Secretary has 90 days to set the
fees for the next calendar year. This process requires formal notice and
opportunity for public comment.
C.
UCR fees may need to be reset to accommodate revenue collections that either
exceed or do not meet target expectations as well as changes in the number of
participating states, the number of entities subject to UCR, or their fleet
sizes. When resetting fees is necessary the Board will recommend the new fees
and the USDOT Secretary will set them pursuant to federal rulemaking.
2. UCR per-carrier fees are based on the number of commercial motor vehicles owned or operated by a motor carrier or motor private carrier. There are six carrier fee brackets based on fleet size. Each carrier bracket is assigned a fee as set by the USDOT Secretary. UCR fees are progressive in that the fees per carrier increase as fleet size increases.
3. The UCR Fee Schedule for the current calendar year can be found at http://www.maine.gov/sos/bmv/commercial/UCR.htm.
4. UCR fees are not prorated for partial year operation.
